WHOLE NUMBER 1896.

We noticed, not long since. in the alley
back of Osborne's store, drunken fellow
who appeared to be waiting, Micawber like,
for something to turn up. He didn't have
to wait long before another man put in an
appearance and the twain disappeared behind
the corner of barn, where they remained
just about long enough to take swig, when
the fellow who had been waiting came out
around the building to the street, followed
shortly afterward by his companion, who
disappeared in the alley. Both were resi-
dents of this village and both are noted
drinkers. One of them is never sober unless
by mistake, drunkenness being his normal
condition. Let all good citizens vote for
county prohibition and thus put an end to
such disgraceful exhibitions.

Decatur Disgraces the Diamond. I.

Our boys went to Decatur last Friday for
the purpose of playing the base ballists
at that place. Rain interrupted the game at
the close of the third inning, the score stand
ing at that time two to nought in favor of
the visitors. After the rain the game was
resumed, and at the end of the seventh
inning, when IT had become too dark to play.
the score was ten to four in favor of the
Paw Paws, who desired to have the game
called, but the umpire and the crowd decided
that they must play ball. In the eighth
the Decaturs, by reason of the darkness, ran
in seven scores while the visitors were put
| ting out six men-the number required IL
that inning by the remarkable umpire
making the game eleven to ten in favor of
the home team. The Decaturs played their
half of the ninth when the umpire, fearing
the Paw Paws might win, called the game
back TO the eighth.
Matt Murphy of Decatur, was the umpire.
and he roasted the visitors from the very
beginning. The boys say that he deliberate
| ly stole the game from them, and that the
Decatur players on their own grounds, with
a Decatur umpire and the Decatur hoodlums
to back them, are invincible. If the game
cannot be won by fair means, il will be done
by foul. Even the Decatur players them
selves acknowledged that the visitors had
been given the rankest kind OF deal. Our
boys are not given TO "beefng," but they
would have been justified in leaving the
grounds and refusing to play, instead of sub
mitting to be robbed of game that fairly
belonged to them. Perhaps the umpire
should not be too severely blamed, as he was
evidently overawed and controlled by the
yelling crowd to such an extent that he dared
not give the visitors q fair show; but then,
there was no particular necessity of his hold
ing whispered consultations with the Decatur
catcher and giving him instructions where to
throw the ball in order to put Paw Paw
base runner out. Our boys say that Decatur
is the only place they have visited where
they have not received fair deal from the
umpire and fair treatment from the
spectators, and such seems to have been the
experience Of nearly every club that has visit
Ell that town. Paw Paw will claim the game
by a score of 10 to 4, and there is no fair
minded man but what will say that is right

Through Orchards and Vineyards.

We were in Lawton few days since and,
by the courtesy of Capt. Geo. Prentice, were
given a pleasant ride over what some of our
people are wont to term the "Lawton sand
hills" and those same sand hills were one of
the most beautiful scenes VIC ever looked
upon. They are covered with hundreds of
acres of vineyards and small fruits, as well
as with orchards of peaches, apples aud
| pears. Notwithstanding the fact that many
| tons of grapes had already been gathered and
shipped to market, the supply seemed almost
inexhaustible, and the vines were still heavily
laden with luscious fruit.
Our ride was cut short by rain, which
compelled US to return to town before we
had completed our intended circuit, but we
saw enough TO convince us that there is no
more prosperous, thriving and profitable
business in our county than that of fruit cul-
ture in the country around our thriving sister
| village.
We particularly noticed the vineyards and
orchards of the Bitely boys, G. ID. and q. G.
Lawton, A. b. Jones Z Son, n o. Martin
and others, while from the summit of the
hills occupied by some OF these gentlemen,
many other large fruit plantations were
brought within the range of our vision.
We had intended TO call on our friend
Len Hasted the principal peach grower
near the village, but the rain prevented.
Some of the peach orchards have not been
kept up TO their former state of culture, their
owners finding the grape business more
profitable and having devoted the greater
portion of their time and attention to their
vineyards. Probably Harl Waters, whose
orchard consists of 10000 trees located
few miles from the village, has the largest
peach plantation in the vicinity. He estimates
his crop at about 5000 bushels.
Lawton is enjoying the legitimate result OF
this prosperous and profitable fruit business
and shows marked indications of progress
A few years since the village was filled with
empty buildings and property was flat; now
they are all occupied, village property brings
good price and, at this season of the year,
more business is transacted there than in any
other town in the county, and indications Of
prosperity are seen on every hand; but just
at the present time all are interested in fruit.
Fruit gathering, fruit shipping fruit drying,
the manufacture of fruit packages or fruit
handling of some kind is almost the universal
occupation of the people.

MY Name rs Perkins.

Uncle Tommy Crane wasn't expecting a
visit from his son Noe b., whom he hadn't
seen for eleven years. The old gentleman
was in the barn when his boy put in his ap-
pearance and as was not to be wondered at.
the father did not recognize him. Il am
looking for Mr.. Crane" said the young man.
"That is my name," was the reply. MY
name is Perkins" said the son, and am
from Oregon" "Indeed" said Uncle Tom
my, and do you know my son who resides
in that state?" Il do" was the reply, land
l called at his request to inquire as to your
welfare and let you know how he is getting
along" "Well, well,'' said the old man,
"wait until / wash my hands and we will 90
into the house." Entering the house, they
encountered Mrs. Smith, n. BIS sister, whose
eyesight o. memory was better than the
fathers, and who at once recognized her
brother and gave him sisterly embrace. To
say that the old gentleman was astonished to
witness the warmth with which Rose greeted
Mr. Perkins, but feebly expresses the state
of his feelings: he was dumbfounded. He
has since recovered his equanimity and has
concluded that Perkins is pretty good fell
low, even if he does vote the republican
ticket. We agree with him.

A SENSATION PROMISED.
Accusations Regarding secretary Lamar
and tho Land Onlco.


Mmw AuKRE, WIS, Dec. 23.-Tho
county supervisors Of 81. Croix County
have forwarded to Washington n memo
rial that will create sensation. The
paper contains q number Of startling
charges, starting with the assertion that
the decision Of Secretary Lamar over
ruling the action of Commissioner
Sparks in relation to Wisconsin land
grants will result in giving to the
railroads several hundreds of thousands
Of acres which were never promised
them by Congress, but, were secured by
different Governors Of Wisconsin. The
memorial closes with the remarkable
statement:
1T seems to us that since the founda-
ton of the Government there has not
been on Il large scale more uniustiii-
able and unlawful acquisition than the
one that has recently been engineered
by the Wisconsin Central through the
General Land Office in Washington"
The sensational document is the work
of men cognizant of the facts. They
are neighbors Of Senator Spooner, to
whom the memorial is addressed.
